HEEEL PPLS The second side of a triangle is 8 inches less than the first side. The third side is 14 inches more than the first side. The perimeter of the triangle is 78 inches. Find each side of the triangle.

second side is 16

third side is 38

Step-by-step explanation:

x + (x - 8) + (x + 14) = 78

3x + 6 = 78

3x = 78 - 6

3 x = 72

x = 72/3

x = 24

24 + (24 - 8) + (24 + 14) = 78

24 + 16 + 38 = 78

step-by-step explanation:

we can analyze the pattern at which the terms increase. let us denote , , , so that we can call

note the following:

the pattern: to get the next term value, we just add the next term number (e.g. 1st, 2nd, to the previous term value (term values are the given numbers in the question, 1, 3, 6, 10, 15,

from , to get to , we add

from , to get to , we add

etc.

we need to form a recursive formula, a formula that has the next term as a function of the previous term. so a possible recursive formula can be
